ONCE again that time of the year is here. International agencies like PETA (People for Ethical Treatment of Animals) are looking for winning candidates of the sexiest vegetarian of the year 2008. The contest is interesting and will involve international celebrities like Sir Paul McCartney, Elecia Silverstone, Vishal Dadlani, Kailash Kher, Moby, Pamela Anderson, Hansika Motwani, Mallika Sherawat, Mahima Choudhary, Rajnish Duggal, Hemant Trivedi and Jesse Randhawa.

The most promising contestant according to the organisers is Aditi Govitrikar, who claims as a doctor that a vegetarian diet is much better suited for the wellness of human beings. "I am a complete veggie and confidently say that a vegetarian diet has helped me to remain fit and energetic through my hard work as a model, star and a mother of two children."

Whoever among the nominees wins this year, there are two vegetarians that have electrified the entertainment industry in 2008. The first one is the absolutely beautiful Kareena Kapoor, who climbed to the first rank among Bollywood actors during the year with the phenomenal success of her film Jab We Met. This was followed by the Yashraj’s dud film Tashan, where the zero size-perfect body Kareena was paired with lover boy Saif Ali Khan. The second one is John Abraham with his sculpted body and eight-pack abs. His physique enchanted his ‘gay’ partner Abhishek Bachchan in the recently released Dostana from the Karan Johar stable.

Though Tashan bombed at the BO, it established Kareena Kapoor as the ‘zero size’ hot bod, an actress who had the best figure in the whole of Bollywood. Tashan made full use of her newly-slim and sexy figure and presented her in every avatar that would show off her shapely bosom, long and sexy legs and washboard-flat tummy. The gaunt cheeks, the sharp nose and passionate eyes and gyrating sexy hips—all these added to make Kareena the most-talked about sensual woman in all of India for months before and after Tashan.

Indeed, at all the awards functions that followed, her zero size figure was talked about more than her work in the films, though Jab We Met did for her what no film had ever done for any actor before this. All through this time, as she achieved her so-called zero size figure at the request of Yashraj Films for Tashan, she gave umpteen interviews on how she had achieved this magical goal on a full vegetarian diet with the help of yoga alone. With this fame and recognition in her kitty, Kareena is certainly the most sought after and sexy vegetarian who should win the award except that she has won it in the past and may not be eligible for the contest once again.

John Abraham, by no standards a top Bollywood actor, became the talking point at the end of the year when his out-of-the-box film Dostana hit the screens. In a comic caper, John acted ‘boyfriend’ to his ‘girlfriend’ Abhishek Bachchan and had ample scope to show off his superbly shaped body.

This year, with his vegetarian preferences, he confirmed that impressive health and super energy can be achieved by adhering to a rich vegetarian diet teamed with correctly chosen exercise regimens.

Vegetarian celebrities like Sreesanth Samik, Mahima Choudhary, Vidya Balan and R. Madhavan have endorsed vegetarianism as the correct way of life all through the year. But looking at what Kareena Kapoor and John Abraham have achieved through the past year, they certainly walk away with the crowns of the vegetarians of the year 2008 with their unforgettable look in Tashan and Dostana.
